Modified on Wed, 30 Jul at 9:18 AM

Cut and Fill area (Bonus tools)

For a quick visualisation of the Cut and Fill areas you can use the command Area cut and fill which is part of the Bonus tools macro.

Not familiar with macros, read Install a Macro.


STEPS

In the Active Settings change the active macro to Bonus tools


In the menu Bonus tools > DTM > Area cut and fill


In the window Select DTM:


  • Choose which option you want to use.
    - the difference of a terrain model and a certain height
    - the difference between two terrain models


  • Colour: choose the colours you want to use that will represent Cut/Fill

  • Click on OK.


The area of the cut and fill is calculated.

Click on OK.




RESULT

In your drawing a new layer Cut&Fill has been created, which you can choose to show or not show. This layer contains a group of point objects colorised accordingly. Each Point info contains the coördinates and the height.
